Satellite Imagery Shows Impact of California Flooding on Landscape

1 年前

Satellite imagery released on March 22 shows changes to the California landscape following weeks of atmospheric river rains.

Imagery from Maxar Technologies compares the current California landscape to the landscape prior to flooding.

Featured areas include Watsonville and its surrounding farms and fields, the town of Pajaro, and the Pajaro River. Also included in the imagery is Lake Oroville, where the water levels can be seen to have increased substantially since last summer’s drought conditions.
